Scary Professor Prays

Deciding to return to college is the best decision I have ever made. I love applying myself. I love learning. I love the entire college atmosphere. However, there was one issue that had me trembling. I was intimidated by my Expository Writing professor. He is passionate and intellectual. I love how he teaches. He knows the rules needed to become an accomplished writer. Even though I respect him I am not ashamed to admit he intimidates me. I began to wonder if I would ever be able to impress him. Today I was sitting outside the classroom door. I was waiting for the professor to unlock the door so we could begin class. He appeared. I looked down to avoid his eyes. I was afraid of him. He looked at me and then made a surprising statement. "I prayed for you in chapel today." He then handed me a Christian Writing magazine and said it was a gift. Now I know that this does not mean he will be impressed with my writing. But, this action calmed my nerves tremendously. I love the fact that my professor prays. It moved me that he came before the throne of God and mentioned my name.
